Coronavirus Policy for Activities

1 Course Attendance

According to Government and Industry advice the following people should not travel to nor attend an Adventure Training North East course, anyone who;

• has displayed any one of the Coronavirus symptoms within the past 14 days
• is living with someone who has had Coronavirus symptoms within the last 14 days
• has been contacted through Test and Trace and told to self-isolate

Anyone exhibiting Coronavirus symptoms on arrival or who develops symptoms during the course will be asked to return home and self-isolate. This exclusion practice exists in accordance with industry guidance and can in no way be deemed discriminatory.

We will endeavour to fit anyone excluded from a course due to the above reasons on one of our future courses at no extra cost, or receive a full refund.

If a course is cancelled because a member of Adventure Training North East staff needs to self-isolate, or because the Covid alert level rises or running a course would be against Government guidance, candidates may book onto the next suitable course or receive a full refund.

2 Protocol

• candidate numbers will be reduced so that social distancing can be observed as much as possible.
• the course will take place outdoors, as much as possible, so please come dressed appropriately

Candidates will be asked;

• to confirm they should not be self-isolating at the time of the course
• to confirm that they are not living someone who has been contacted through Test & Trace
• to hand sanitize on arrival and regularly throughout the day
• if they need to cough or sneeze, please do so into a tissue which will then be promptly disposed of and hand sanitize immediately. Candidates should cough/sneeze into a crooked elbow if a tissue is not to hand then hand sanitize immediately

3 Post Activity Procedure

Any candidate developing symptoms should follow Government guidelines phone 119 and request a test. If the result is positive, Test & Trace will then ask who you have been in close contact with (within 1m) for longer than 15 minutes. All candidates attending courses will be asked to voluntarily give ATNE their contact details for this purpose. Candidate personal details will be given to Test & Trace if required and otherwise held for 15 days, in accordance with GDPR then disposed of appropriately.
